RE: ARB-2017-137: North Pointe Middle Entrance Stormwater Management Facility Landscaping
Dear Mr. Mitchell,
The Albemarle County Architectural Review Board reviewed the above noted item at its meeting on Monday,
February 12, 2018. The Board, by a vote of 5:0 approved the request, pending staff administrative approval of
the following conditions:
1. Relocate the permanent maintenance access further away from the EC to minimize visual impacts
on the street. If grading prevents relocating the access, provide additional landscape screening.
2. Provide additional planting along the south and west sides of the access easement to better
integrate the path into the surroundings.
3. Increase the density of trees on the north/west side of the stormwater facility. Mix evergreens and
deciduous trees, and large and small trees.
4. On the conservation side of the facility, add trees and revise the layout of shrubs to emphasize the
natural character of surroundings.
5. Revise the plans to show the existing frontage condition the full length of the frontage and to show
the 40' landscape buffer. Identify on the plan the places where existing wooded area is not
sufficient to accomplish the buffer, and show on the plan the planting that will be added to create
the 40' buffer in those areas.
6. Add the standard plant health note to the plan: "All site plantings of trees and shrubs shall be allowed
to reach, and be maintained at, mature height; the topping of trees is prohibited. Shrubs and trees shall
be pruned minimally and only to support the overall health of the plant."
7. Show existing and proposed tree lines on the plans.
8. Round the contours at the maintenance path and at the northeast of the pond for a more natural
appearance.
Please provide:
1. Two full sets of revised drawings addressing each ofthese conditions. Include updated ARB revision
dates on each drawing.
2. A memo including detailed responses indicating how each condition has been satisfied. If changes
other than those requested have been made, identify those changes in the memo also. Highlighting the
changes in the drawing with "clouding" or by other means will facilitate review and approval.
3. The attached "Revised Application Submittal' form. This form must be returned with your revisions to
ensure proper tracking and distribution.
When staffs review of this information indicates that all conditions of approval have been met, a Certificate of
Appropriateness may be issued.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Sincerely,
